20 It was me

"What are you doing here? " Jake asks.

"I should be asking you that? " Miss Gill said.

Everyone was surprised to see Miss Gill open the door. Was she the one who phoned Jake? That doesn't make any sense. Why would someone try to reveal one's own secrets to the investigation agency unless they are sick or mad.

"Is this your number? " Mon puts the phone screen just in front of Miss Gill's face.

"Umm no! " She says as she stares at them as they all enter the apartment one by one. Seeing these officers inspecting the room she continues "May I know the reason? Why are you here?Ain't I already proved innocent? "

"Innocent? We still have our eyes on you. Well, is this where you live? " Dayal asks as he checks around the room.

"Yes.. Sometimes. But you have not answered my question. I can call the higher authorities for help if you continue this. " She says.

"Miss, we're here to find the owner of this phone number. We tracked it here. Also, if not because of this number we would have never known you stay here, sometimes. " Mon answers.

"Now answer miss gill, do you know whose number it is? " Sam asks.

She kept silent for a while and then said she had no idea whose number it was. Sid tried to ask her by changing the question pattern but her answer never changed. After some more trials finally Jake told him to stop.

Suddenly they hear strong footsteps running towards the room. A young boy appeared in front of the door and straddled there for a moment facing the ground.. He must have hurried all the way along to this place.

"Who are you boy? " Dayal asks as he walks towards the door.

"Huh.. I.. I have something… to tell. " He says in his restless voice and lets out a deep breath.

"Okay, relax. Come on in. "

"Why did you come so early and what do you have to say to these people? " Disha asks as she gets a glass of water.

The boy stands up to take the glass and lifts his head to everyone's shock.

"Why do I feel like I have seen him before? " Sid asks.

"Mon, isn't he the one who ran into you a few days ago outside the meeting room? " Sam says.

"Yeah.Why are you here? " Mon asks, taking a step forward towards him.

"You guys know him? " Dayal glances at his team.

"That's what I'm here to tell you,sir.I work in the same agency as you."he says.

" What's your name?I didn't see you in the office? "

"I'm Kunal. I heard you were searching for the owner of that number, so I came running to tell you about it. " He says as he returns the glass to Miss Gill.

"Wait, what's going on? How do you know about the number?You never told me you work there. " She asks.

"Sir, if you don't mind can I have you all for a moment. But not here let's talk this upstairs. " He asks.

"Why not here? " Jake crosses his arms.

"Yes.What is it Kun, why can't you tell me about this? Miss Gill says.

" Just give us a moment. Relax. Don't you trust me? "

"Of course I do, brother. "

"Aah, did she just call you brother? " Sam stares at him and then at Disha.

"Yes, she's my sister. "

"Ohh" They nod in unison.

"I'll explain everything to you. " He says and walks outside towards the rooftop, followed by the whole team.

The guy started as soon as they reached the rooftop "that call, I know about that. "He states.

"Tell us everything. " Jake says.

"It was me! "
